"the cause that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it." Rabbi Haninah said that reports Moses's punishment, when Moses found himself unable to decide the case of the daughters of Zelophehad. Rav Nahman objected to Rabbi Haninah's interpretation, noting that Moses did not say that he would always have the answers, but merely that he would rule if he knew the answer or seek instruction if he did not. Rav Nahman cited a Baraita to explain the case of the daughters of Zelophehad: God had intended that Moses write the laws of inheritance, but found the daughters of Zelophehad worthy to have the section recorded on their account. Rabbi Eleazar, on the authority of Rabbi Simlai, noted that says, "And I charged your judges at that time," while similarly says, "I charged you [the Israelites] at that time." Rabbi Eleazar deduced that meant to warn the Congregation to revere their judges, and meant to warn the judges to be patient with the Congregation. Rabbi Hanan (or some say Rabbi Shabatai) said that this meant that judges must be as patient as Moses, who reports acted "as the nursing father carries the sucking child." A Baraita taught that when hedonists multiplied, justice became perverted, conduct deteriorated, and God found no satisfaction in the world. When those who displayed partiality in judgment multiplied, the command of , "You shall not be afraid of the face of any man," was discontinued; and the command of , "You shall not respect persons in judgment," ceased to be practiced; and people threw off the yoke of Heaven and placed upon themselves the yoke of human beings. When those who whispered to judges (to influence the judges in favor of one party) multiplied, the fierceness of Divine anger increased against Israel, and the Divine Presence (Shechinah) departed, because, as Psalm teaches, "He judges among the judges" (that is, God abides only with honest judges). When there multiplied people of whom says, "Their heart goes after their gain," there multiplied people who (in the words of ) "call evil good, and good evil." When there multiplied people who "call evil good, and good evil," woes increased in the world. Resh Lakish interpreted the words "Send you" in to indicate that God gave Moses discretion whether or not to send the spies. Resh Lakish read Moses' recollection of the matter
